Eight Arab and Muslim states condemn Israeli expansions in West Bank

GAZA: Foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey have condemned Israel’s expansionist actions in the occupied West Bank. In a joint statement, these countries declared that Israel’s decisions to establish settlements and impose illegal sovereignty over Palestinian territories are clear violations of international law and threaten peace and stability in the region. The foreign ministers emphasized that Israel has no sovereignty over the West Bank, urging the international community to fulfill its legal and moral responsibilities by compelling Israel to cease these actions. The warning underscores the importance of upholding the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and establishing an independent state based on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
